He couldn't make 140 and was too small for 147. Could Gatti have benefited from some great fights while not disadvantaging himself by taking some fights at maybe 142 or 143 instead? And if so what fights could realistically have been made? I do think Gatti had something left after the Mayweather fight, he just was too small for 147. But could he have been successful at 143 or such against some of the names of back then and who could he have been successful against?
I thought about this when I thought about his post fight interview after the Gomez fight where he was saying he can't make 140 and was too small for 147 and thus was a man without a weight class and would retire.
Do you guys think that Gatti after the Mayweather fight could have been successful in catch weight fights had he not have had to go to 147?
